| Understanding the concept of water potential in forest ecosystems involves examining processes in the water cycle such as rainfall absorption in soil, plant water uptake, evaporation, and transpiration. It also includes comprehending how trees respond to various stress factors, evaluating the relationship between water potential and tree stress, and learning methods for determining water potential in forest trees.
